Affordable

Driving an EV costs 1/3 of the overall cost of driving a gas-powered vehicle.

The Valley is getting greener.

TVA’s power portfolio has always been dynamic and adaptable. In recent years, we’ve moved away from coal-based production toward cleaner forms of power generation and we’re still making strides every day to generate energy that’s more efficient and environmentally friendly. It’s a natural evolution—one that fits with our historic mission of providing reliable, low-cost energy that makes life better for the people we serve.

EV range myths, busted.

card-img
“You can’t get far on a charge.“

A single charge can cover a week of commuting. It can take you from Nashville to Atlanta in one swoop.

card-img
“Chargers are hard to find.“

The charger network is bigger than ever before—and rapidly expanding by the day.

card-img
“If my power dies, I’m stranded.”

Just like gas-fueled cars, EVs are equipped to warn you when your power is getting low.

card-img
“I rent, so I can’t charge one.“

Level 1 chargers only require an outlet to install. And more and more apartments offer charging stations.

“The batteries don’t last.“

EV batteries are typically designed to last for the expected lifetime of the vehicle.

card-img
“Road trips would be a pain.”

Sure, they’ll take a little more planning. But online charger locators make it easy to find a charge on the way.

card-img
“They’re not good in the cold.“

Most EVs have active thermal management, keeping the battery at operating temperature.

card-img
“EVs are worse for the environment.“

EVs don’t produce tailpipe emissions. Over a lifetime of driving, they’re a lot more sustainable.

EV maintenance.

Don’t take care of your car. Let your car take care of you.

Owning an EV helps you save time, cost and maintenance fees from mile one to the road ahead.
